In principle, yes. I can definitely relate to this: have a hard time visualising their life as a continuous thread from the better day, the current pain and struggles, and a more wholesome future. Their lives have lost a sense of time and instead it tends to become circular, where days, past and future blur into a fog In context of the projects I'm working on and the goals I have. My problem is, I have a hard time talking about incremental progress. I can talk to my IRL friends if I have something really meaningful to report, even if most of them won't understand what I'm talking about. But many days my "progress" reduces to "read 40 pages of this book on digital sampling of waveforms that I'm reading, and wrote some sample code to read audio off a microphone and save it as a WAV file." This feels to trivial to even talk to anybody about, even though it may be fairly meaningful to me (where the long-term goal(s) here involve speech recognition, AI, etc.). Not sure how to deal with that aspect, although talking to a group of people who are more or less strangers may actually be easier at times. Kinda like the way there may be some things you'd find it easier to talk about with a random stranger at a bar, than an IRL friend or family member, or whatever. Anyway, if somebody stands up a Discord instance or something, I'm game to join in and give it a try.
